Le Pape Terrible #1

From the visionary mind of Alejandro Jodorowsky and the brush of artist Theo comes this striking opening chapter of Le Pape Terrible, subtitled "Della Rovere." The cover sets an immediately arresting tone: an aged, robed figure of unmistakable papal authority sits enthroned amid ornate Renaissance splendor, cradling the limp, pale form of a nude youth in an unsettling pietà-like tableau. Theo's richly detailed artwork — brought to life by Sébastien Gérard's deep, sumptuous colors — announces a series unafraid to explore the darkest corridors of power and faith.
